I've already gained 34 lbs total during the 6 1/2 months so far into my pregnancy and my doctor says I shouldn't gain more than 35 during the entire pregnancy! I was at my ideal weight for my height before becoming pregnant, so I do not understand why I'm gaining so much. I eat well (no junk food) but my doctor does not want me to eat ANY carbs, not even good carbs like fruit and whole grains, etc., which is really what I crave. I must say though that I'm ALWAYS hungry and it's a terrible feeling. The doctor says I should try and drink more water instead of eat every time I'm hungry - I think he's nuts! Pregnancy hunger is horrible to cope with and hard to ignore! At least for me it has been... How much weight is really too much weight to gain during a pregnancy and will it come off afterwards? I'm so worried especially since I'm a first-time mom. I'm also very swollen-ankles, and shoes and my wedding ring doesn't fit anymore! Please tell me your own experiences with this issue
